Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods for determining and preventing malfeasant activity in a private distributed network. The method includes generating one or more executed data transfer records for each of one or more executed data transfers across a distributed network. Each of the one or more executed data transfer records includes one or more data transfer information fields. The method also includes generating one or more decoy executed data transfer records. The decoy executed data transfer record(s) includes the data transfer information field(s). The method further includes providing a portal that contains each of the records associated with the distributed network. The method still further includes detecting a record access for one or more of the decoy executed data transfer records by an end-point device associated with a user. The method also includes causing an escalation action to be executed based on the detection of the record access.

Claims

         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device, upon execution of the instructions, is configured to:
 determine one or more viewed records of at least one of the one or more executed data transfer records or one or more decoy executed data transfer records by the end-point device associated with the user; and   cause the one or more viewed records to be marked as a potential target of malfeasance.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one processing device, upon execution of the instructions, is configured to determine a malfeasant action has occurred on one or more of the one or more viewed records, wherein the escalation action comprises a remediation action on the one or more of the one or more viewed on which a malfeasant action has occurred. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device, upon execution of the instructions, is configured to:
 determine a malfeasant intent for the user based on an interaction type for the record access; and   determine the escalation action based on the malfeasant intent.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the escalation action comprises causing one or more data transfers on a distributed network to be denied in an instance in which at least one of physical tampering or a record access occurs. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the private distributed network allows one or more entities can limit access to one or more users on the private distributed network. 
     
     
         7 . A computer program product for determining and preventing malfeasant activity in a private distributed network, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising one or more executable portions configured to:
 generate one or more executed data transfer records for each of one or more executed data transfers across the private distributed network, wherein each of the one or more executed data transfer records comprises one or more data transfer information fields;   generate one or more decoy executed data transfer records associated with one or more decoy data transfers, wherein the one or more decoy executed data transfer records comprises the one or more data transfer information fields;   provide a portal that contains each of the one or more executed data transfer records and the one or more decoy executed data transfer records associated with the private distributed network;   detect a record access for one or more of the decoy executed data transfer records by an end-point device associated with a user on the private distributed network;   detect a physical tampering of a server associated with the private distributed network, wherein the escalation action comprises a shutdown of the private distributed network in an instance in which the physical tampering is detected; and   cause an escalation action to be executed based on the detection of the record access, wherein the escalation action comprises limiting access to the private distributed network for the user.   
     
     
         8 . The computer program product of  claim 7 , wherein the computer-readable program code portions comprising one or more executable portions are also configured to:
 determine one or more viewed records of at least one of the one or more executed data transfer records or one or more decoy executed data transfer records by the end-point device associated with the user; and   cause the one or more viewed records to be marked as a potential target of malfeasance.   
     
     
         9 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , wherein the computer-readable program code portions comprising one or more executable portions are also configured to determine a malfeasant action has occurred on one or more of the one or more viewed records, wherein the escalation action comprises a remediation action on the one or more of the one or more viewed on which a malfeasant action has occurred. 
     
     
         10 . The computer program product of  claim 7 , wherein the computer-readable program code portions comprising one or more executable portions are also configured to:
 determine a malfeasant intent for the user based on an interaction type for the record access; and   determine the escalation action based on the malfeasant intent.   
     
     
         11 . The computer program product of  claim 7 , wherein the escalation action comprises causing one or more data transfers on a distributed network to be denied in an instance in which at least one of physical tampering or a record access occurs.
